Homecoming Music.......2004-04-12
The album title comes from part of the lyrics from the second track DELIVER ME. It has not been widely recognized as their sensational debut "Nervous Night" in 1985. Comparing with NERVOUS NIGHT which has shown their power pop appeal, the music in this album makes you feel more nostalgic, reminisce the old happy days and good ol' American music. Of course they do have power pop stuff just as in Nervous Night such as BROTHER DON'T YOU WALK AWAY and YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE. But the album's major appeal comes from acoustic ballads using variety of musical instruments just as Bruce Hornsby and the Range did.
HEAVEN LAUGHS, GIVE THE MUSIC BACK and ALWAYS A PLACE are just plain excellent. And their cover 500 MILES doesn't sound like cover at all.
The Hooters became almost forgotten in the U.S. But in Japan they had been really huge even during 90s and they had a number of concerts here. And I hope American will bring their music back.
Recommended for John Melencamp, Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Heuy Lewis and the News fans and American mainstream pop music fans.
Another Underrated Hooters Release..........2003-03-30
But all of that notwithstanding, I still think Zig Zag was another disc that was slightly ahead of its time. Remember - Eric Bazillian, Rob Hyman, and producer Rick Chertoff were largely responsible for the Joan Osborne "Relish" album, which sounded like a Hooters album to me...
The band did always try to incorporate different influences from various musical genres (reggae, ska, folk, blues, and countless others) which may have been its undoing, sadly. How many other mid to late 80's rock bands were using mandolins, (and the occasional accordian) on a regular basis? Not too many... and I think the general population didn't know what to make of them, and were expecting them to do Nervous Night II, III, and IV - which they promptly did not do.
Anyway - "Brother Don't You Walk Away", "Give The Music Back", "Heaven Laughs", "You Never Know Who Your Friends Are" and "Beat Up Guitar" (which is a touching ode to their coming up in Philadelphia, and still gets me a little misty, even now) are great pop songs, that have a certain timelessness to them. And I have to admit "Mr. Big Baboon" is a guilty pleasure - with its cajun inspired vibe.
Pick it up, keep an open mind, and you might even find yourself enjoying it.

Astonishing.......2006-10-20
There is really something special in her way of producing sound.
I also found the baroque violin rendition of the original Bach brilliant. Completely different than Milstein (or Perlman) it has a special character. Quite majestic.

Guillaume de Machaut: The Motets (Complete) - Ensemble Musica Nova

The mastery of Machaut.......2006-08-28
Here we have the 23 motets of Machaut. Machaut's motets, like those from others in the medieval period, are usually written in three parts:
1). The tenor: the lowest voice, which usually sings a simple, short text, with very long duration given to each syllable, similar to that of plainchant, sung slowly
2). The duplum or motetus: the middle voice, which sings a separate text. This text usually takes the form of a poem, and is more ornamented than the tenor
3). The triplum: the highest voice, which sings its own text in a highly ornamented style
Machaut's motets follow the principle of isorhythm. In essence, this means that the tenor part is repeated multiple times using the same rhythm, but the proportion of the rhythm can be altered in each repetition.
Sounds pretty complicated, doesn't it? Well, it is, and it isn't. It is complicated in the sense that three separate texts, written in old French or Latin, are sung simultaneously. Some of the motets even combine the two languages together! But the underlying beauty of Machaut melodies often beguiles the ear, making you forget all of that is taking place. However, as I have listened to the motets repeatedly, I have come to appreciate how the intricate duplum and triplum voices play off one another and contrast against the unornamented tenor line. This music really is amazing and Machaut clearly was a master. I think certain of the motets are immediately appealing for their melancholy beauty (tracks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on disc one, and tracks 4, 5, 11, 12 and 15 on disc two). Other tracks require more attention. Accordingly, this is a release to listen to multiple times, and in chunks. It's a bit much to fully process this music in one sitting!
The performance by Ensemble Musica Nova is outstanding, and the sound is very clear. It is evident that a lot of research went into this recording, and that great care was taken to provide the listener with an authentic experience. It should be noted that in contrast to the choral music of the Renaissance, the different voices of the ensemble do not combine to create a unified sound. Each voice is distinct, and is readily identifiable. In this performance, several of the motets are accompanied by Medieval instruments (viele, flute a bec, harp and drum), while others are purely choral. Multiple versions of certain of the motets are included. For instance, Motet 17 is presented in both an instrumental and choral version. The program notes are extremely detailed, with the original texts and English translations of the motets included.
I suspect this package will prove irrestiable to fans of medieval music, and this set can be enthusiastically recommended to that crowd. For those new to medieval music, I would recommend starting with a recording of "La Messe de Notre Dame" to get warmed up to the style. But if you are looking for a copy of Machaut's motets - this outstanding version is the one to get!

A landmark recording of Machaut's music.......2005-07-20
The Ensemble Musica Nova are part of the lively French early music scene with all of its greater expressive vibrancy and passion, that constrast markedly to the often chilly and reserved English performances. To add to the variety even more, the motets are played interspersed with alternative surviving instrumental dimunitions of the same motets that enrichen the musical experience greatly. Those accumstomed to the puritanically bland early music performances by English groups will find the results from this French group revelatory, with their exhibition of a far fuller palette of colour that recalls those rich illuminations that decorate his manuscripts. All of this helps to present a far more vigorous case for Machaut as one of the turly great composers of Western music.
The completeness and authoritativeness of the performances further extends to the use of period French pronounciation in the performances. All in all this has to be regarded as a benchmark recording for these works by a group who demonstrate deep dedication to this great composer.
Another strong added attraction of the CD is the audiophile grade quality of the recorded sound. There is good air around voices and instruments with nice spacial resolution/sound staging with voice/instrumental timbre being captured vividly. Furthermore the documentation in the cover booklet is exceptionally thorough in its discussion and documentation of textual sources, performance practice and musicological background. An additional booklet in the box provides full texts. This is another case of a lovely boutique independent recording company successfully producing a CD whose artistic and technical standards runs rings around the majors. It certainly raises great interest in the other releases by Zig Zig Territoires. Even the cover art epitomises French chic at its best.
Quite deservedly, this CD was decorated with the Diapason d'Or and the Choc de l'année 2003 - in this repetoire awards I take immeasurably more notice of than Gramophone which would have awarded it a Recording of the Year if the composer and performers were English! David Vernier for Classicstoday gave it a 10/10 review and for once I pretty much agree.
An essential CD set of music of the Ars Nova. Definitely one to grab while you can - you will be kicking yourself if you miss this one.
